You Blotted My Happy Schooldays

When i entered that school room that mornin' in may
I noticed you over the way
And then with your pen dear you painfully wrote
You blotted my happy school days

I blotted your happy school days
I'm sorry i caused you this pain
I'll ask god to forgive me and to guide me always
For i blotted your happy school days

The teacher was watchin' with a wondering eye
She noticed your anguish and pain
She knew it would hurt you to have sympathy
With a heart that was breakin' in pain

I have all the notes that you wrote to me
I've folded and kept them with care
They're all put away to be touched no more
To save as a memory so dear

When i passed by your coffin to take my last look
I placed my last kiss on your brow
I know you're in heaven with friends that are dear
And i know that i'll meet you up there

For i blotted your happy school days
I'm sorry i caused you this pain
But i'll ask god to forgive me and to guide me always
For i blotted your happy school days
